The SeaMonkey project has released [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/releases/ SeaMonkey 1.0] in Janury, 2006, and continues development of that internet application suite in three ways:
*First, SeaMonkey 1.0.x releases will be security and stability updates to SeaMonkey 1.0 (happening on the so-called "Mozilla 1.8.0 branch")
*First, SeaMonkey 1.0.x releases will be security and stability updates to SeaMonkey 1.0 (happening on the so-called "Mozilla 1.8.0 branch")
*Second, work is being done to add [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315312 some new features] to the suite without changing the basis that SeaMonkey 1.0 built upon. The result of that, will be released as SeaMonkey 1.1 as look and feel the same as 1.0 but with those features added. (This is done on "Mozilla 1.8 branch")

*Third, we are working on migrating the whole application to the new backend framework used by our close relatives Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. and even moving toward using the new "XULRunner" architecture. At the same time we're looking to restructure the SeaMonkey-specific code to be in a common place in a more sensible structure. This will bring lots of new possibilites, like having the new Extension Manager, less development difference between Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey, a better localization framework ("source L10n") and a theme rework, but it also means some bigger changes in how SeaMonkey's backend behaves. We'll try to retain the feel of the well-known suite though as much as possible. The current working title for a release from that work is "SeaMonkey 1.5", but this is subject to change, and that release is not to be expected before 2007. (This work is happening on "Mozilla trunk")
